Sorry that you aren't really okay... but glad you aren't actively miserable. Was the rock... You or him or the therapy relationship? Maybe... He is ambivalent about the rock analogy rather than... Uncomprehending / forgetful? I'm sure he does think about you sometimes... Sure he does. I'm surprised at my therapists lack of memory at times, but I guess different things seem significant to him. He does remember the strangest things...

Those disconnected sessions often leave me feeling a little bland and numb and yucky... Not sure what it is that makes a session into one of those sometimes. Combinations of things, I suppose.

I always laugh when you say 'my therapist has many fine and useful qualities'. I guess I used to read that as your really really really really trying to be charitable. And now I read it as a kind of acceptance and resignation and kinda making the best of the way things are. Not sure how to convey the tone... I guess I still laugh a little. Maybe... The fondness. Thats what I missed before.

I bet he won't forget who gave him the rock. And what it symbolized either.

But I guess you know him better than me.
